According to reports from NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys are planning a second interview on Wednesday with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer for their head coaching vacancy. The Cowboys reportedly spent four hours in their initial interview with Schottenheimer on Monday.

McCarthy's overall lack of playoff success and the offense getting stale are big reasons Jerry Jones is making a coaching change.

The next Cowboys head coach will be the 10th in team history, and the ninth under Jerry Jones's employ. So, who wants this job? And who does Jerry want?

It's not up there with having the audacity to fire legendary coach Tom Landry on a golf course in Austin, but Jerry Jones' fumbling of Mike McCarthy's exit from the Dallas Cowboys is, at best, a horrible look and,

McCarthy spent six years in the college ranks before he broke into the NFL in 1993 on Marty Schottenheimer’s Kansas City staff as a quality control coach. He was a quarterback coach for the Chiefs and Green Bay Packers before leaving to become the offensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints in 2000.

The Cowboys compiled a 49-35 record in McCarthy’s five seasons. Tom Landry and Jason Garrett are the only coaches in franchise history with more victories.

McCarthy leaves looking like the bigger man. Partially because of the malaise that began to coat the Cowboys' fan base and partially because Jerry seems to again be operating on his gut as he moves forward.

Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry was the coach for the Cowboys ... Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title ...

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.

The Dallas Cowboys are one of four teams still looking for a head coach. However, just how coveted should the Cowboys head coaching position be?

He did it. The son of a…. an Arkansas businessman did it. Jerry Jones let the ninth head coach of the Dallas Cowboys walk out the door. Jones is the only general manager in the entire history of the NFL to have fired/let go every head coach in a franchise’s history.

Aikman, though, shot down the idea that the Cowboys are a “coveted job” for any head coaching candidate.
